Development and climate change: a strategic framework for the World Bank group

• 01/12/2008
• The World Bank

This Strategic Framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. The WBG recognizes the very complex political process toward long-term cooperative action within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Framework will help the WBG maintain the effectiveness of its core mission of supporting growth and overcoming poverty while recognizing added costs and risks of climate change and an evolving global climate policy. The Framework also explores what the WBG can do to facilitate global progress.
